The Most Valuable, Essential Things In Life

No one is born neutral!  We all come into the world with enough “basic wiring” to conduct a current.  Whatever “charge” we make on the world depends upon how well we tap our own natural resources.  My belief is that all of us have sufficient talents and skills to do what we truly desire to do with our lives.  Notice I didn’t say, “Wish to do.”  I said, “Truly desire!”

Difficult Questions

            What is your true desire?  What have you defined as your life’s purpose?  What do you want the world to remember about your time here?  What difference do you want to make?  These are very tough questions that demand much thought to get meaningful answers.  The strength of the answers depends directly on how well you use your pool of talents and skills.  Here are four valuable, essential things we bring to life that help maximize these natural skills

                Our Ability To Think!  No other living organism has the brainpower we possess.  However, most people are reluctant to practice this skill.  They want everyone else to think for them.  They just want to do and not think.

            Our Ability To Take Action On Our Thoughts!       If you do nothing with the knowledge you gain by thinking, it’s no different than not thinking at all.  Make ACTION on your knowledge the way that you do business.

            Our Ability To Get Results From Our Action!  My mission as a speaker is to help my audiences turn shared knowledge into positive actions and ultimately positive results.  What about you?

            Our Free Will!  The power to choose, like our ability to think, is a unique gift.  We don’t have to rely on instinct like other animals.  We can think and thus make choices.  While this wonderful ability is given to us free of charge, we often forget we can choose.

            Closing Thoughts:  Why not spend time thinking and formulating goals you truly desire to achieve?  Make detailed action steps for their achievement.  Don’t quit until you reach your destination.  And, along the way, always remember that you have a free will and can make choices to adjust the journey and guarantee success.  What a bargain!

Share Your Ideas About Parenting Skills

            I will shortly begin to write my third book, Teaching Your Child To Succeed.  The book is attracting a high degree of interest from literary agents and has a strong possibility of being published by a major house.  Would you like to be a part of this important project?  If so, why not send me your tips on parenting that you’ve learned as you’ve raised your family.  Don’t overly concern yourself with grammar or sentence structure.  That is my job and my editor’s responsibility because we do reserve the right to edit your submissions.  However, we will acknowledge any tip used.  I’ve got plenty of information but I think it would be neat to include your ideas as well.  Please email your tips to barcement@eatel.net.  I expect the first draft to be complete by the end of the year.  I’d love to hear from you and include you in my book.

Building Your Knowledge Arsenal

            What are you doing to get smarter?  If you are a long-time reader of this newsletter or if you’ve been in my audience, you know how much emphasis I place on perpetual learning.  You never want to end the day as smart as you were when you woke up.  Always strive to learn something new each and every day of your life.  Here are seven suggestions to move you up the food chain of knowledge:

1. Review your local newspaper every day.  Keep up with the happenings in the world and in your local area.  Read articles of interest and scan the editorial page and special interest stories. 
2. Listen to daily news (local & national), even if you are traveling.  It’s quite interesting to listen to the nightly local news in another part of the world.
3. Initiate a reading program.  I now read one business book each month and at least two or three books on other subjects.  Vary the subject matter of these selections in order to broaden the depth of your knowledge. 
4. Go to an occasional movie to keep up with what the industry is emphasizing and what audiences are attending. 
5. I’ve begun to write a list of words I come across that I don’t know the meaning.  Look them up and strive to use them in conversation over the next few days.
6. Hang around people who will challenge your thinking a bit.  It’s good to look at other views, get involved in lively discussions and, in general, stretch your brain a bit.
7. Subscribe to magazines such as Fast Company that contain cutting edge ideas on business trends.

Tip of the Month

            Looking for a “magic formula” to get promoted in your career?  Why not try this suggestion from my book, Searching for Success:  Look around your place of employment for a responsibility not being done by anyone that you can do.  Then, ask permission to do it.  Do an outstanding job with the new responsibility and your boss will become your best cheerleader.  Don’t let gaps in responsibility go unfilled in your work environment.  They just might be your ticket to a better place in your career path.  I know this works because that is exactly how I moved my corporate management career up for 27 years prior to starting The Results Group.  Don’t overlook the simplicity of this idea and the powerful impact it makes.
